Great sound :)
I second that. Perhaps it have a lot to do with the place where it was filmed, and the raw equipment, but the echoing forest before the car appears I something I love. This is not a direct comparison, but somehow it reminds me of the early 90s Group A with Celicas raging through the stages. At least the echo :-)Quote:

Don`t know exactly abot that, but Mads was the first "proper" rally driver to sit in the car. He undertook driving duties during the "official" shakedown last week. Not much to say about that, as Mads wasn`t willing to reveal a lot when I spoke to him on sunday. He made it strongly clear, however, that the car he drove was in a very early development stage. Engine programme development had been hampered by a computer virus (!), Mads said. So the 1,6T engine felt strong on low and max revs. In the middle it was nearly nothing, he told me. But this will of course be sorted out. Mads also told that there was a lot of Prodrive and BMW/Mini persons present, and they were very eager to learn of his initial impressions of the car.Quote:
